Should I get a big SSD and put Komplete on the same SSD as OSX and apps? Or should I put it on 7200 RPM platter drive?

I would definitely get a large SSD drive for the MBP. I had nothing but problems using laptops and their slow HD speeds. The 7200 is better than the 5400 but it's not as fast as a desktop HD. I ended up booting from an external HD to stop the clicks and pops.

I would buy the MBP with the standard internal HD and then swap it out for the fastest SSD from Other World Computing and put the Apple HD in a external case for a back up drive. The OWC SSD is about half the price and faster than the Apple HD.
